Truth Telling Quotes

“Though no one can backtrack and create a brand new start, Everyone is capable of taking their life in a brand new direction.”

“Ihr wart es?", fragte Fis so ungläubig, als meinte er, sich verhört zu haben. "Ihr habt uns angegriffen?" "Uns?", fragte Nonda, und für einen kurzen Moment glaubte Anûr Ärger in dem Gesicht des Nori zu entdecken. "Ich kann mich nicht erinnern, dich damals dort gesehen zu haben", sagte Nonda und klang mit einem Mal müde. "Auch wenn du ein Kind der Wüste bist, so waren es damals andere Menschen, die angegriffen wurden. Verwechsle dein Schicksal nicht mit ihrem. Wut und Hass sollten nicht vererbt werden." (Kapitel 19 "Wohin?", Seite 400)”

“There is nothing else or other than One. In soul-essence, without one being aware of it or not, you too are That! But to get the 'That' of Which Is, one's living and lifestyle too much be in harmony with Oneness. Or one remains a dumb-ass. In life, and death.”

“Don't spend your life wondering "what if" and worrying over something you have no control. What's done is done. Looking backwards will cause you to miss out on new blessings ahead. Move on.”

“Just like you silly bums, I have a personal sky god. I bow to him, as you do to your airy-fairy sod. He prefers I call him Mr. NOT.”

“Any silly ism or stupid book that considers men above women, must be shunned like a lowlife demon. For, all's one, barring none.”

“Funny how we do not realize the true value and legacy of a living icon until they suddenly pass away. Truth is, there are many living legends among us, we just do not stop and take time to notice their worth until it's too late.”

“Be honest. This applies to every area of your life. Sketchiness is not an attractive trait. No more trying to cover up your baggage, sweeping things under the rug, withholding truth, blatant lying, or even telling seemingly ‘harmless’ white lies or half-truths – release the need to lie completely! Start NOW.”

“Women have been driven mad, "gaslighted," for centuries by the refutation of our experience and our instincts in a culture which validates only male experience. The truth of our bodies and our minds has been mystified to us. We therefore have a primary obligation to each other: not to undermine each others' sense of reality for the sake of expediency; not to gaslight each other. Women have often felt insane when cleaving to the truth of our experience. Our future depends on the sanity of each of us, and we have a profound stake, beyond the personal, in the project of describing our reality as candidly and fully as we can to each other.”

“Speak with caution. Even if someone forgives harsh words you've spoken, they may be too hurt to ever forget them. Don't leave a legacy of pain and regret of things you never should have said.”

“At first I wanted to write our story in order to be free of it. But the memories wouldn’t come back for that. Then I realized our story was slipping away from me and I wanted to recapture it by writing, but that didn’t coax up the memories either. For the last few years I’ve left our story alone. I’ve made peace with it. And it came back, detail by detail and in such a fully rounded fashion, with its own direction and its own sense of completion, that it no longer makes me sad. What a sad story, I thought for so long. Not that I now think it was happy. But I think it is true, and thus the question of whether it is sad or happy has no meaning whatever.”

“To say nothing is saying something. You must denounce things you are against or one might believe that you support things you really do not.”

“The time has come for women and men to band together to jointly create gender harmony. We must gather in mixed group to plumb new depths of relational awareness, courageous truth-telling, compassionate listening, empathic sensitivity, and mutual healing.”

“People who ostracize you go running and hiding because you expose who they truly are inside—just as Adam and Eve ran from God in the Garden of Eden when they became aware of their nakedness. Most people clothe themselves in a false reality and bathe in ignorance to hide from who they have become. Unclothe those who seek to conceal their true nature from both themselves and the world, and be prepared to walk this Earth alone!”

“Only in duality consciousness we witness this-that thing. In reality, a unity consciousness runs as the very soul of every little thing.”

“Art is not a metonym for truth telling. All art is a form of a falsifying; otherwise why would anyone need art to tell us what we already know? Art makes us stand back and see what lies outside the four corners of a canvas, it makes us look inside ourselves and realize the sublime truth that previously eluded us. Art makes us realize what already lies within ourselves waiting for the resolute seeker to discover. Art frequently concentrates on the blemishes of nature. When one sees nature disfigured, it reveals both sides of the same notion.”

“In this world, you are very much like a water hose in the garden. Love flows through you, just as water runs through this hose. Love comes from God, just as water comes from the well. The water doesn’t depend on the hose, just as God doesn’t depend on you. But the water needs the hose to pour on the garden, and the flowers need the water. God needs you to pour his love in the world, and people need his love.”

“All people express a fondness for truth and sincerity, yet many people prefer to live with their illusions and delusions. A person’s sincere desire to believe only what is true oftentimes does not trump their ingrained resistance to truths that fail to coincide with their deeply held desires. People reject truth because it undercuts what they wish was true and despise or discredit anyone whom offers a different version of truth than they are prepared to accept.”
